A player at last weekend’s national Hokuto no Ken tournament in Japan had time to finish his drink while waiting for his opponent’s lengthy combo to end. The niche fighting game, developed by Arc System Works in 2005, has become known for its over-the-top and infinite combo-heavy competition.

Tekken player Kazuaki “BKC” Tsukagoshi passed away over the weekend, according to a recent announcement from the Namco Sugamo game center. A eulogy on community hub Avoiding the Puddle describes BKC as a pillar of Japan’s competitive Tekken scene. He was just 30 years old.
